How do amoeba and fungi obtain their food? How are they different from each other?
Answers
Answer:
The term "amoeba" refers to simple eukaryotic organisms that move in a characteristic crawling fashion.
Paramecium bursaria form symbiotic relationships with green algae, according to Kenyon College's MicrobeWiki. The algae live in its cytoplasm
Answer:
Explanation:
FOOD OBTAINED BY FUNGI
- Fungi cannot make their food from sunlight, water and carbon dioxide as plants do, in the process known as photosynthesis. This is because they lack the green pigment known as chlorophyll, which plants use to capture light energy. So, like animals, they must obtain their food from other organisms.
FOOD OBTAINED BY AMOEBA
- Amoeba is irregular in shape.it has number of finger-like projections called pseudopodia or false feet.it can move in any direction by pushing its cytoplasm in that direction.its pseudopodia help in movement and capturing of food.
AMOEBA IS DIFFERENT FROM FUNGI
- Certain protists, like the amoeba, are also consumers. They differ from other consumers because they obtain their energy by decomposing the bodies of dead things. They secrete digestive chemicals onto their food and break large molecules into smaller ones that they then absorb.
Amoeba is a protozoan and no fixed shape. It acquires shape according to movement of its protoplasm. They thrive on dissolved material present in surrounding environment , which is adsorbed by it through semipermeable membrane.
Fungi is a saprophyte and takes ready-made food especially from the substrate on which it grows. Fungi has fixed shape because of sterol like material in their cells.
Bacteria have fixed shape due to the presence of peptidoglycan in their cell walls like rods, cocci, etc. They are pathogenic, non pathogenic, saprophytic, autotrophic etc. According to their mode of nutrition food is taken by them.
